Slightly adapting the lectionary (with Bishop Gates’ permission), Morgan Allen and Michael Battle will tether this Forum series to each Sunday’s lesson from Paul’s letter to Rome. 

On March 19, (Romans 5:12-19) – Dr. Kent A. McConnell will deliver the lecture, proposing racism as the United States’ original sin and reflecting on the difficulties forgiving such a sin.

Dr. McConnell’s dissertation explored religiosity following the Civil War, and is a contributor to Oxford University’s Encyclopedia of African American History:1896 to the Present. We welcome him as part of Trinity’s Anne Berry Bonnyman Symposium and Price Lecture series programs

Join us in-person in Copley Square or tune in to the livestream on our website here or on Trinity's Facebook page.
